I can only really only speak for myself, but I think you came at this all wrong from the start for this board. If you had been more upfront about why you were posting it, you'd probably get a few eye rolls, but not quite the same negative reaction. Something like, "Hey guys, there's this new app coming out soon. Here's what I know about it so far..... I signed up to be an affiliate, which basically means I get credit for signing up players (and other affiliates, too). Honestly, there's no real benefit to you to preregister since the app isn't even out yet, but if it sounds like a game you might download and try out anyway, please consider helping a fellow FBG out and let me send you a link so you can sign up under my name. Thanks!"
Anyway, that would have been better in my eyes. Instead, you went more with the shifty sounding salesman routine.
Oh, and the whole "fantasy sports is a billions $ business but this isn't fantasy, we're going for even more from the people that don't play!" and "do you know how much apps make???" routines really rub me the wrong way. Who cares how much fantasy sports brings in if this isn't fantasy sports? And if I told you I was starting a cell phone business, would you be more likely to invest if I told you that cell phone manufacturers make billions of dollars?
